Dall’irraggiunto irraggi
Domingo Notaro
Translated from Italian by Kay McCarthy
Dall'irraggiunto irraggi, by Domingo Notaro and translated by Kay McCarthy from Italian, brings Italy Italian-language poetry into English through radiance, distance, and the unreachable horizon implied by the title. The metadata gives the reader a doorway, but the real value is what happens once the poem starts making its own weather. I would read it for light, pursuit, longing, and the way a poem can aim toward what it knows it may not reach, not as a fixed lesson about a country or period. The best entry point is still the poem itself: the line that catches, the image that refuses to explain itself, the feeling that arrives before paraphrase. Dall'irraggiunto irraggi belongs in the translated poetry library because it gives the shelf a quieter Italian work of desire and formal restraint.
